GRD

Well Olly has got it. Gastroesophageal reflux disease. We kind of figured he did, but now it is for sure. The problem is one of the two medicines his doctor prescribed has a list of side effects a mile long. Some of them are really scary. Here is the side effects list:

Possible side effects SIDE EFFECTS, that may occur while taking this medicine include drowsiness, weariness, dizziness, restlessness, jitteriness, anxiety, agitation, confusion, headache, trouble sleeping, or diarrhea. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience unusual or uncontrollable movements of arms, legs, face, eyes, tongue, mouth, neck, or jaw; unusual or unexplained vision changes; muscle stiffness; fever; sweating; mood changes including depression; or thoughts of hurting yourself.

Seriously!!!??? Who would want to give this medicine to their two month old? I will be talking to the doctor on Monday.

AWW, Poor little guy. I hope he get's to feeling better on his own. Yea those med side effects always sound worse than suffering from the original problem.
